The usebib package is a poor person's replacement for the more powerful methods provided by biblatex to access data from a .bib file. After \usepackage{usebib} \bibinput{biblio} in the preamble, one is able to say \usebibdata{newton1687}{title} for printing in the document the title of the work with the BibTeX key `newton1687'. Access to other fields is provided.
